Thanks for the article, Marie.

I've always wondered about the use of supplements during chemo, especially for Stage IV as we're likely to be constantly on maintenance chemo.

The irony is, my TCM doc has been giving me TCM herbal prescriptions for immunity building purposes. He's the Head of Oncology in Beijing and says that they've done much research that indicated TCM helps the immune system and this in turn, enhances the effectiveness of the chemo and Herceptin.
